Halfway Down the Stairs

Random Information

I finished a pair of socks earlier this week using Sundara Sock Yarn. Her colors are so rich and saturated, I would love to go back for more. But, time to stash burn, you know? I found a list on her website that I loved, so I'm sharing it with you:

Note: This yarn is a very fine fingering, and the color is lovely. It appears her shop is closed right now, but there is a lot of her yarn stashed away on Ravelry. It was hard to capture the true green in this photo - but take my word for it - it's green.

It's a beautiful Autumn day here for Halloween. Watchin' some football and starting some new projects....

I managed to get into the last three shipments of hand-dyed yarn from Fall Creek Fibers yarn club. This has been some beautiful yarn. She also mixes teas and dyes fiber. I loved the tea sample that she sent. I have the house to myself for the weekend, so I am putting together sock kits from my stash and finishing up some projects on the needles.

Note:Pattern available exclusively for the Alice Kit as part of the Woolgirl Wizard of Oz Sock Club. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists and his Starry Starry Night one of my favorite paintings. I also love Sophie's Toes sock yarn. If you are me, how do you resist this yarn? Look at how it knit up:

Note: I've been wanting to try this pattern since I first saw it. This yarn has been in the stash for, well, forever. It's an easy knitting yarn and an easy pattern, I would like to try it in a monotone dyed yarn.

*The goal for the year was to finish 2 pair/month using up a good chunk of stash yarn. I believe I am well on track. Especially since I have another FO to show off later this week.

About Me

I am a 49 year old SAHM (going on 9 years now). I have two teenagers, and a wonderful DH who underwrites this whole project************************
My childhood:
Halfway down the stairs Is a stair Where I sit. There isn't any Other stair Quite like It. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair Where I always Stop. Halfway up the stairs Isn't up, And isn't down. It isn't in the nursery, It isn't in the town. And all sorts of funny thoughts Run round my head: "It isn't really Anywhere! It's somewhere else Instead!" a.a. Milne
